1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-1626)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The opj_pi_update_decode_poc function in pi.c in OpenJPEG, as used in PDFium in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.109, miscalculates a certain layer index value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted PDF document.
